Oh, great another bloody apologist for lawlessness. What you see in N.O. is animal mentality that's been coddled by liberalism as an acceptable way to behave. That attitude killed N.O. There was no crime spree after 9/11 in NY. There was no looting with the great blackout that crippled much of the east coast. Those areas, yes, infested with liberalism, were not dominated by it, and therefore society could function during their crises.

9/11 did not destroy a whole region like Katrina did.

I thought there was quite a lot in NYC. I could be remembering wrong, and I'm in Boston, so it wouldn't have been local for me. But that's my recollection.

That's the crux of it..and well worth repeating.
